Amazing game and Remake that looks stellar, plays beautifully and perfectly translates 2D Metroid gameplay to 3D. Made me dive into PrimeHack Echoes immediately after because I was so hooked. My one gripe with this version is that Samus has no way to cast any light since shots don't light up the environment like they used to in the GC/Wii versions and some spots in the game are so dark with the new lighting system that it can be disorienting (and I don't mean the sections where you're meant to use a certain visor). But still, amazing game otherwise.

P.S.: also, eff that last type of standard Metroid in the game, they're the frickin' worst xD so stressful.
